Robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty showed excellent precision in the sagittal and coronal planes of the 3D CT scan. In particular, the robot-assisted technique showed better accuracy in femoral rotational alignment compared to the conventional surgery, despite the fact that the surgeons who performed the operations were more experienced and familiar with the conventional method than with robot-assisted surgery. It can thus be concluded that robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty is superior to conventional total knee arthroplasty.

In the TKA field,currently available robotic systems require more operative time and are more expensive than conventional surgery , but even at this stage of development they offer much more precise pre-operative planning

In this series robotic-assisted total knee replacement resulted in more accurate orientation and alignment of the components than that achieved by conventional total knee replacement.

The robotic-assisted technology had definite advantages in terms of preoperative planning, accuracy of the intraoperative procedure, and postoperative follow-up, especially in the femoral flexion angle and tibial angle.

Robotic-assisted TKA can result in fewer outliers in radiographic alignment and an improved ability to achieve flexion-extension gap balance with similar complication rates, reduced postoperative drainage, and increased operative time when compared to conventional TKA at a minimum followup of 3 years.

The better alignment accuracy of robotic TKA and the good clinical results achieved may favorably influence clinical and radiological outcomes.
